Task
Number Task
1
Unpack the chassis, and verify that all
contents are present.
2
Review the installation cautions and
warnings.
3
Ensure that the physical environment
that will host the chassis has proper
cabling and ventilation.
4
The B08S ships with extra screws
installed in the right side of the
chassis. These screws secure the fan
tray assembly, protecting it from
damage during shipment. You must
remove these screws before installing
the chassis.
5
Install the chassis in a rack.
Because of the weight of a fully
loaded chassis (97 lbs minimum), IBM
recommends mounting a chassis in a
rack before installing the modules and
power supplies.
6
The chassis ships with a slot panel
installed in all module slots that don't
currently have a module installed. If
you plan to install a module in a slot,
you must remove the slot panel.
If you do not install a module in a slot,
you must keep the slot panel in place.
If you run the chassis with an
uncovered slot, the system will
overheat.
7
Install the management module and
interface modules in the chassis
